I’m really not into fashion rules, like no white shoes after Labor Day, but why are people wearing leather in the summer? Not even a leather skirt with an airy blouse but a full on leather dress. I don’t get this from the standpoint of comfort and not sweltering.

Pudgy Possum

Yeah, I just realized her shine might not be from the cameras and lights, but from the droplets of sweat collecting on her forehead!

oatmealpie

Where’s the rest of her skirt?

Beardslee

While I appreciate the enormous amount of effort it must take for her to continue to look like this, I find this dress really aging. Give it to a 22 year old – in September.

NYCGlamourpuss

Yes! Exactly this to your whole post.

Just Me

Xena, Warrior Princess: The Next Generation. Coming to tv this Fall.

drdarke

I was thinking “So Angie Harmon’s playing Mad Max in THE ROAD WARRIOR reboot…?”, @disqus_OAXKxOiIhs:disqus ?

WTF is this event being held? I’ll admit it’s gotten cooler in NYC since the start of the week, but even so….

MoHub

Ooh! You beat me to it!

Bebe

Yes, it’s July and she’s wearing a leather dress. I don’t understand that. But I do like it….until it gets to her about the hipbones. WHY the scalloped hem? Do not like. Do love the clutch. Shiny and sharp!

kimmeister

The hem is egregious. She’s got awesome legs, but that is not the way to showcase them to their best effect.

This is a clear case of Trying Too Hard. Angie doesn’t have the fashion chops for a look this extreme.

Judih1

amen

Karen Belgrad

Oh, c’mon… now she’s just baiting the Xena-crossover fanfic!

drdarke

Even though she swears she’s not even remotely lesbian to anybody who will listen, @karenbelgrad:disqus ?

I guess I wouldn’t be so pissed off about it if Harmon at least didn’t seem like she was suffering from Crippling Gay Panic when she said things like that….

Karen Belgrad

Well, the actress has been to the same guy for 12 years, so I never took it as her denying she was a lesbian. She’s clearly straight (or identifies as) in her personal life.

As for her character (is she Rizzoli or Isles?), her answers seem more playful than anything else. If the writers haven’t decided or made it certain, then she can only be coy in her responses, which she tends to be. I haven’t seen anything disrespectful though.

drdarke

It came off that way to me, @karenbelgrad:disqus – though since Angie Harmon’s hardly my favorite actress, I might be reading more into it than is there….

I think we can all agree that this outfit’s the wrong thing for this venue and time of year, though.

demidaemon

I don’t find her answers remotely gay panic at all (as a gay man myself, I think I would be able to suss that out pretty quickly). If it really bothered her that much, the scenes in the show playing it up would feel a lot more awkward. Additionally, the books the show is based on have a very different mood than the show itself, but I appreciate that difference.

drdarke

Okay, then – guess it is me.

I just remember how Jaime Murray and Joanne Kelly handled a similar question about possible H.G. Wells and Myka ‘shipping on WAREHOUSE 13 – they really seemed to enjoy the possibility.

Lesley

she looks like a leather clad warrior princess from spartacus esp. with that wide leg pose, which is not attractive fyi

Is no one else afraid that if we criticize this look, she will come kick our asses?
I really wish the skirt finished differently.

CPK1

I know. It is the perfect definition of a scroll-down fug

norseofcourse

Looks like she’s wearing a big leather diaper.

Jacqueline Wessel

Wow, that is a killer clutch. Literally, you could harm someone with that thing…looks cool though.

conniemd

Forget killing someone else, I’d be afraid of nailing myself with it. I can’t believe anyone could carry it IRL.

PastryGoddess

Now I have ZZTop stuck in my head

librarygrrl64

Beautiful woman, awful outfit.

housefulofboys

You sure don’t want to sit on your purse by accident…

In other news, Angie Harmon continues to defy both gravity and the time space continuum. She hasn’t aged at all and her legs are amazing, I’m so jealous.

MilaXX

Like Heidi the entire look is too young looking for her and she’s too athletically built for this.

random_poster

This is so not her dress. Also, the dress demands more dramatic make-up and edgier hair.

NYCGlamourpuss

Did I ever mention that Angie Harmon is one of my “Gay for a Day” girls? Except not in this get up, she’s not! I wouldn’t fuck her with someone else’s “Gay for a Day” vagina the way she’s looking here.

demidaemon

Well, hopefully, she wouldn’t be wearing this dress (or anything at all) on that day.

NYCGlamourpuss

You’ve got a point!

Amy909

Nice legs, just wish she’d pose with her legs together. Also, an all leather dress in summer? And the shoes? Nice, but don’t go with the dress imo.

barbarienne

How big is that clutch? She’s 5’9″, and while she certainly doesn’t have big hands, they are in proportion. That clutch looks enormous. I wonder if it comes with a fold-out handle to turn it into a war-hammer. Those spikes are wonderful.

alyce1213

As leather dresses go, this one’s not the worst, but the shirttail hemline ruins it.
Photo lights on leather dresses are always problematic for boobs.
Isn’t it summer in LA?

Nayasabrina

I think this is real case of smoosh-boob, though. See where the darts are straining to contain their payload?

AlisonS

She looks damned good but her boobs must be so sweaty!

minnye

I don’t understand how she pulled off a black leather “I still got it bitches!” look, but damned if she didn’t do just that.

ETA: & the superhero stance rocks.

GoryDetails

She looks great, but I couldn’t help thinking “new sidekick for Batman”.

Sara Brams-Miller

She is rocking this dress. I don’t care how hot it is, that is one smokin leather dress.

Lori

T&Lo were right, as usual, about ladystars being unable to resist the black leather dress. This is the worst one ever, but as usual it’s not doing her boobs any favors. I’m also not sold on that hem, plus it’s July so it’s too hot for this. In short, she looks better than she has a right to in it, but I still think she should have worn something else.

teensmom99

I actually think she is the person in the world who can look good in this. She looks much better than the model.

E. D.

What is up with the shoes and bag with that. What about bright sandals and a bright envelope clutch?

Sarah Caponigro

Does not age. Want purse.

Anathema_Device

I like the dress, but I would prefer it w/o the shirt-tail hem.

marlie

Not loving it. The fit around the hips is off.

NoveltyRocker

That bag is like if she pressed a button and a hundred razor-end spikes shoot out and there’s a cartoon noise like a giant katana sword being drawn.

crash1212

Clutch as deadly weapon.

Jennifer Peters-Ahnberg

I really don’t like what this does for her top half. Her shoulders look huge and her boobs look smooshed. Add the weird hem and it’s a disaster. Not your dress, sweetie.

gurl boy

Dressed to KILL?

Pennymac

?? Did they auction off outfits that weren’t used during the filming of The 5th Element?

I really don’t care for the shirttail hem at all. And maybe her proportions don’t match the cut of the dress–I think a size up would swallow her, but it’s pulling in odd places.

Anniebet

Jimmy Choo strikes again.

MoHub

Xena’s mom.

MaggieMae

Should’ve worn that to Comic-Con!

ankali

Actress who could not be more boring fails at being less boring.

Also, I think the hem on that dress probably makes it ultimately unworkable, but choosing such fussy accessories stopped the look before it even started. The clean, modern look of the shoes the model is wearing should have been more of a cue for how to style this. Also, the hair is just a big ole nothing.

Katie

The question on this dress is not “Is this a dress better suited to a Marvel villian” but “Which Marvel villain would wear this best.”

demidaemon

I’m between White Queen, Venom, and Mystique.

demidaemon

I love her. I frickin hate this dress.

mickiemonkey

Her boobs are going to overheat and explode and her dress has a NIGHTSHIRT hem. That purse will get the attention of homeland security.

Danielle

Something about the skirt is off, but she looks confident as hell, and that makes it work.

amaranth16

That hem is so awkward. Also, something about her reminds me of Tom Cruise.
